High-energy Sets Céilí featuring Louise O’Connor and members of Glór na dTonn Céilí Band for Boyne TradFest 2026.

Sets Céilí with Louise O’Connor & Members of Glór na dTonn. Get ready for an unforgettable afternoon of high-energy foot-tapping, dynamic rhythms, and authentic Irish tradition!

Raised in the West of Ireland, Louise O’Connor is a renowned Sean Nós dancer, traditional Irish fiddler, and master céilí caller. Drawing on her rich background in performance and transcultural studies, Louise specializes in creating warm, inclusive, and joyous dance environments where everyone—from complete beginners to seasoned dancers—can find their rhythm and feel right at home.

Adding serious firepower to the stage, Louise will be joined live by members of Glór na dTonn, the reigning 2025 All-Ireland Senior Céilí Band Champions from Sligo. Expect driving tunes, brilliant musicianship, and an infectious atmosphere that will keep the floor moving from start to finish!

What to Expect:

• All Dances Called: Never done a set céilí before? No problem! Every dance will be clearly demonstrated and called step-by-step on the floor.

• World-Class Music: Dance to live, award-winning traditional music played by All-Ireland champion musicians.

• Inclusive & Welcoming: No partner or prior dance experience required—just bring comfortable shoes and plenty of enthusiasm!

Whether you are looking to learn your first steps, brush up on classic set dances, or simply soak in top-tier live Irish music, this céilí promises an invigorating celebration of community, connection, and culture.
